I discovered in my research that autofs needs discreetly identified mount points for removable devices. This is great for unique devices like CD/DVD players, cameras and PDA's, but it's quite cumbersome for mass storage devices with multiple partitions on them. As a result, I installed xfce4 and wanted to use udisks. So far, I have not been able to get anything to automount using this combination. Running 'udisksctl status' gives the following output with the first two lines repeating four times before the whole thing stops.
> (process:26376): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid (NULL) pointer instance > > (process:26376): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: > g_signal_handlers_disconnect_matched: assertion 'G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE > (instance)' failed > > (process:26376): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion > 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed > Error connecting to the udisks daemon: Error calling > StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.UDisks2: > GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.PermissionsInvalid: The > permission of the setuid helper is not correct When I plug my USB drive in, /var/log/daemon.log gives: > dbus[644]: [system] Activated service 'org.freedesktop.UDisks2' > failed: The permission of the setuid helper is not correct When I log out of xfce, I see the following messages--I don't know when they occur although I have plugged in and removed one of my USB drives a couple of times. The first long line occurs with each final statement. I will include the long line and then the two statements in order of their appearance. > GVFS--Remote Volume Monitor--Warning remote volume monitor with dbus > name org.gtk.Private.UDisks2VolumeMonitor is not supported > thunar-volman: Could not detect the volume corresponding to the > device I have reviewed my install logs and as far as I can see all the permissions of what I have installed are correct. I could have missed something, however. Additionally, I don't know if there are any of the applications and daemons that need to be owned by root. I'm specifically thinking of Polkit. Most of the files are owned by their package names for my Package Users system. In any event, I do not know where to even start troubleshooting. I tried looking at the different files, but I do not understand the syntax, esp Polkit rules. I've looked in the Arch, Gentoo and Xfce wiki's and couldn't find anything that solved the situation. I will really appreciate any help.
